Comparison of Method for Skin Closure in Colorectal Cancer.
Sponsor: Yoon Suk Lee
Summary
Compared to tissue adhesives and skin stapling devices, tissue adhesives are reported to have advantages in terms of wound infection and cost competitiveness. However, there have been no prospective randomized studies focusing on wound infection rates and cost competitiveness between skin stapling devices and tissue adhesives in colorectal cancer surgery. In colon cancer surgery, it is still unclear which skin suturing method has advantages such as lower postoperative wound infection rate and price competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes, including wound infection rates and cost-effectiveness, between two different wound closure methods for colorectal cancer.

Conditions
Interventions
skin bond
In the skin bond group, fascia closure is performed for incision sites of 10 mm or more, and skin bond is sufficiently applied after subcuticular suture. For incision sites less than 10 mm, subcuticular closure is performed without closing the fascia, and then skin bond is applied.
skin stapler
In the skin stapler group, fascia closure is performed on incision sites larger than 10 mm, and the skin is closed at 2-3 mm intervals using a stapler. For incision sites less than 10 mm, skin closure is performed using a skin stapler without closing the fascia.
